Writers who write?
cuchlann:
I write, though I haven't been published yet (well, a poem in high school, but that's hardly what I'm going for). I'm starting to get encouraging notes from editors, so that's probably a good sign. I'm working on a Master's in creative writing, too (I got the B.A. last year).
Tips? Uh... Well, submit things. That sounds obvious, but do it. And do it again. An article put it very well, and I'll have to paraphrase it - you should think of submitting like you think of shopping. You do it, you get a rejection, and you send to someone else.
You started the thread, Veg - what do you write?
Kai:
I'm writing a play. It's pretty fancy. I've also written a few articles that were published in the newspaper like, twice, but that's about it. Still, pretty awesome.
Oli:
I'm starting to write a black comedy script about an independant funeral directors.
It's going kinda slowly though, because I'm still trying to mull each of the characters over to make them seem more 3D
I also occasionally write intorductions to stories that I never finish. Mostly just as something to do when I'm bored.
vegkitkat:
I mainly write poetry. Sometimes short stories, but very rarely. I tend to get a good idea for a story, but I can't ever really get it to form on paper. Nothing I write ever ends up being very long, and I don't think I've ever really been happy with anything I've written. Even if others think that it's good. 'Tis strange.
Kai:
All my stuff is very short too; I can't imagine writing a novel. I can't stick to one topic for a very long time when I'm writing. I do write alot of short stories though.
